| NetDescriptions | Ross Creek Overlook does not provide a vantage point of great height, but the traveler obtains a dramatic view of the Cabinet Mountains and Bull Lake Valley.  The overlook offers pullouts but trailers are not recommended.  From this overlook it is only a short distance to the Ross Creek Scenic Area, a grove of giant western red cedars that are 500 years old and set in a rain forest atmosphere.  A picnic area and .9-mile nature trail are available.  Trailer parking may be found just off Highway 2. |
